It is a CAAT (civil aviation authority of Thailand) registered aircraft. U-H77.

How a X-Air Hawk is built.
 

Clicked through this video and my thoughts are no, not getting in that.

 

Respect to those that build and enjoy flying them.

The X-Air Hawk is not a 'light aircraft' it is in the 'Ultralight or Microlight' category.

 

See:

The X-air is a high wing, 2 seat, side by side, conventionally controlled, microlight/ultralight aircraft, with full dual controls, toe brakes, elevator trim & over 3+ hours flying time, on it's two 25L fuel tanks, which are filled easily at the side of the fuselage.
